    if a N/A 22R can push 35's im positive your motor can too. you need to gear accordingly with the tires. for 33';s you should be looking into 456 or 488. 430 is far off for a set of tires bigger than 31's. has nothing to do with motor.

    Sent Joel a PM but figured I would post here too since linked has posted here. I'm interested in a set of UCA's. I want to lift my truck 6" or so with spindles and a UCA but it looks like all the old Fabtech kits have been snatched up. If linked does make up a few sets of these what coils would you run with them? And what modifications would need to be made to the spindles?

    i would skip the lift coils and try to throw some coilovers in there :D
    spindles will have to be drilled out to accept a 3/4 bolt

    and i have already battled the TC BJ lower arms as well. those can be converted to uni as well with the cup welded to the arm and not that POS adapter that they make with a ball in it that bolts the the spindle.

    linked, you have something custom for the 5 lug lower control arm? I wonder why OMF's spindle is so expensive.

    well if you have the TC lowers i have a way to get a uniball on those arms instead of that pile of crap ball joint. can i make a custom kit for a 5 lug? sure... do i want to? not right now hahaha. give me a year to finish off my project before i start anything else hahah.
